Quinn & Dalton Creenagh Armagh

[quindalton]

My ancestors used the name Quin & Quinn with the help of this forum which pointed me in the right direction for RC Church Kilmore  known as the Stonebridge RC Church Kilmore Township Richill Diocese Armagh we have the marriage of Margaret Quin to William Douglass 1853....also the Baptism records of Felix Quin 1846

Finally Thomas Quinn born 1829 whose last child was born in Felling Durham England whose wife Alice Kerr died there  the names of two older children.... his second wife and her three children  but try as we might we could not find his first marriage ....

Just as an after thought I put his  and her name in the search facility and couldnt believe my eyes when I saw there names 1845 the year the church  records began....

I don't know if any of the other Quin/Quinns of Kilmore Armagh could be part of the family as I have only the five offspring that settled in Tyneside  obviously there could be ones from this family that went to far different shores also to other parts of England/ Scotland /Wales as well as those who never left Ireland ....

Please don't lose heart  anyone researching....I took up Family History as a means of keeping my old gray matter moving when I ended up in as wheelchair ....It was hard when I first started  LOL we didnt have PC's and the Internet....

My husband would install me in the Family History Room of Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead and go off and do all he had to do....it got easier as the years went by..that was 15 years ago...

We started to go to Ireland and apart from Dublin Waterford Wexford and Wicklow .....have seen most other parts of Ireland many times...but Ulster in all its Beauty many many times ...

The People of Ulster what ever there religous persuasion have always always been kindness itself amd we have made many many friends ....

So if your ancestors come from Armagh as mine do go and get the feel of Ulster and see what a township looks like ....until you see one its not like anything you imagine ....its not the size of a Village or A Small town....And for American Canadian and Australian its more like those gathering of a few houses at a cross roads often shown in your deserts or prairies in movies ....

Kilmore St Aidens  the Ch of Ireland has a wonderful Cemetary where all denominations are buried .....not to far distant is the Orange Hall very modern clean and well kept.....a smattering of homes .....somehow we missed the Stonebridge and the Church so didnt see the RC Church ....I never saw a Public House or a Shop but if we missed the church maybe missed them ......we found the Creenagh Road  and thats the way we left in our final dash for Belfast Lough and the Ferry to Stranraer...but we will go and spend longer the next time it will always be there....

I suspect that my great great grandfather Patrick Quin is probably buried in St Aidens Churchyard but as just a jobbing labourer he probably didnt have a headstone ....

I would liked to know where the copy of records for St Aidens C of I Church are kept if anyone can help....

Hoping to hear from any Quin/Quinns as usual

Hi there......

St Aidens Parish records are held at PRONI in Belfast. I have been through the film a couple of times and although I can't be specific I have a vague memory of Quinns being listed and / or possibly in the 1901 census for the area.

By the way St Aidens Church is in The Grange Parish.

Thank You .....Terry ......Lots of Cranney and Crannys in Consett County Durham .....Consett & Leadgate  ....When I was a girl it was always covered in red dust from iron smelting and steel works all gone now as are the many coal mines and the land returned to beauty......and agriculture .....Many Many Irish came to Durham mostly from Ulster bujt a few from other places ....so much so that the origoinal first railway line that ran from Port Patrick .....down the coast from stranraer became known as the Paddy Line.....We are well served in Durham & Northumberland where Creaney Cranney and Cranny are too  and our Archives at Blandford House ..Blandford Square Newcastle upon Tyne well worth a visit as just about all the church archives from Northumberland Tyne & Wear and North Durham that part that is North of Durham City.....Thank You Patsy Norman

catherine quinn abt 1862 she married a robert black abt 1861
before moving to liverpool they had two sons james abt 1882 and robbert abt1883
robert black 1861 was a horse keeper/ and moved to liverpool by his firm
once in liverpool they had a daughter margret abt 1884 and r on the 1891 census

my dad was told that cattherine quinns father was john quinn and her mother was mary baxter and her grandmother had the surname wilkson

only other thing that has been passed down is that robert black 1861 went to a christen brothers school
and he was christend at st patricks Cathedral rc which i found out didnt open till 1902
and that roberts father was killed by horse, either he was in race or a race horse killed him
not sure if there was an older one, well i havent found one
not sure if this fits in with any of urs
